Join our digital photography workshop in the magnificent Southwest to
strengthen your eye, learn about the magic of light, and hone your printing skills.
The Southwest is a glorious place to photograph, and the Arches and Moab area is a prime location. With blazing red sandstone, fantastical arches, cool canyons, and clear streams and rivers, there is no shortage of photographic material. In addition to Arches, we'll take you to some pretty special areas that we love and to which we have gained access.
We'll be based in Moab where the stunning landscapes have made it perfect for the
filming of numerous Westerns since the 1920s, evoking such names as John Ford,
John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Susan Sarandon and movie titles from "Stage
Coach" to "Thelma & Louise." And for those who love geology, this area is a treasure trove, known for its rich
variety of sandstones that take on the deep hues of sunrise and sunset.
At each of our photo adventures, we start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors
Opening wine-and-pizza reception;
Primer booklet to help you get started;
Early-morning and late-afternoon shoots;
Mid-day processing and tweaking your images with Photoshop and Lightroom;
Epson printing element with a booklet of step-by-step instructions;
Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow;
Final group critique and show; and
Lots of fun and frivolity throughout!
In our print element, our instructors will show
you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into stunning prints using a high-quality Epson printer. In fact,
in all our domestic workshops, you will end up making a lovely, large, archival print of
one of your workshop photographs made with Epson paper and inks to take home with you.
Remember, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great
prints!"
